Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony should capitalize on the Silent Hills situation. Sorry.

SCE Kojima Studios sounds incredible!

Shall we get that trending on twitter? ;)

Kojima would make a great head of Japan Studio, as they seem to have lost their focus entirely.

Gravity Rush was a great idea with poor execution, a sequel which looked rather simple still hasn't been released after 3 years, Rain was a poor indie game, The Last Guardian is still under development 6 years after its reveal, Freedom Wars was a good game but probably didn't take much effort to develop. The team needs a good leadership, and Kojima would give that and a lot else too. He could turn it into one of Sony's top studios from one of their worst, along with Sony London.



Why not Sony already has the original Silent Hill team involved and although right now they're make Gravity Rush 2 the Silent Hill creator himself would like to make horror games again. So with Kojima involved the can make use of some old and new ideas that's a potential for something epic.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

terrible idea.

take on the massive expense of kojima and a team just for that?

Just for that? Why not? P.T. was a massive success and made huge waves, you can't deny that, so why not hire Kojima, bring Del Toro back and let them create the project they wanted to make just under a different name? And it's not like Kojima in itself is a bad investment.

I can certainly see much worse investments being made than this.

And to the dude that said Konami could be angered by this, Konami has barely any bargaining power left in the games industry. What could they even do, not release their last (cause I think they'll be out of this industry in a couple years) couple games on PS? That's completely shooting themselves in the foot considering they make the bulk of their money on that platform.

Not to mention they could be pissing Konami off (you know, the people who own Silent Hill as well as other great franchises). 


Their franchises (what little they still produce) haven't been doing well for quite some time now. Who cares if anyone pisses them. 

They're already digging their grave.

When a merger or aquisition takes place and they allow Nintendo (or hell, even Sega) a shot at buying them/their IP's first.

That's the thing. If Konami actually decides to abandon the videogame scene, will they sell their VG divisions and IPs as one package, or will they make a public auction for every IP and studio they own? Will they hold to the rights of their franchises and just license them to anyone that brings enough cash?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

That doesn't matter. Nintendo has yet to prove it can make a good story-oriented stealth shooter, a survival horror game or a hack n slash game. Sega is even worse, it would probabby kill these IP's even quicker than Konami.

But they are allowed to offer their assets off to someone prior to it going to auction (for a price of course).
